If I had a ranger tab as enlisted, got out for a period of time, then came back in as a commissioned officer, would I still maintain my ranger tab or would I have to go back to ranger school?

Actually, it can be revoked per AR 600-8-22
(13) Ranger Tab. The Ranger Tab may be revoked by the Commandant, U.S. Army Infantry School based on the recommendation of the field commander (COL/O–6 or above) of the individual in question if, in the opinion of that commander, the individual has exhibited a pattern of behavior, lack of expertise, or duty performance that is inconsistent with expectations of the Army, that is, that Ranger-qualified Soldiers continuously demonstrate enhanced degrees of confidence, commitment, competency, and discipline. Requests for revocation will be forwarded to Commandant, U.S. Army Infantry School (ATSH–IP), 1 Karker Street, Fort Benning, GA 31905–4500. Award of the Ranger Tab may be revoked under any of the following conditions: (a) Dismissal, dishonorable discharge, or conviction by courts-martial for desertion in time of war. (b) Refusal to accept assignment to a Ranger coded position. (c) Failure to maintain prescribed standards of personal fitness and readiness to accomplish missions commensurate with position and rank. (d) Upon relief or release for cause.
